Soros’ “Islamophobia” Plot Against David Horowitz Revealed

—FrontPage Mag
Radical
left-wing billionaire George Soros developed a strategy five years ago
to publicly disparage, delegitimize, and marginalize conservatives like
David Horowitz who go to great pains to warn Americans about the threat
posed by political Islam and the ongoing Islamization of the U.S.

Special:

It
is part of the Left’s push to create an alternate reality in which
world temperatures claimed to be rising at an imperceptibly slow rate
pose more of a threat to mankind than militants flying commercial
jetliners into skyscrapers.
Soros is a foreign-born atheist who as a 14-year-old collaborated with the Nazis
in occupied Hungary, describing that time as “probably the happiest
year of my life” and “a very positive experience.” He has described
himself as “some kind of god, the creator of everything,” and has said
his “goal” was “to become the conscience of the world.”

He is an enabler of Islam which has been
expanding by conquest and deception for 1,400 years. To put things in
Islamic terms, Soros’s proposed mass importation of Muslims would expand
the ummah, or community of Muslims, by means of what Muslims call hijrah, or jihad through emigration, from the Islamic world, the Dar al-Islam (house of peace), to the Dar al-Harb (house of war).
Soros’s
affinity for Islam makes perfect sense. Nazi sympathizers and Islamists
have much in common. It is fair to say that Islamic terrorists are the
last of Adolf Hitler’s World War Two coalition partners that have yet to
be vanquished.

Special:

The
Islamic world aligned with the Third Reich, and this alliance “has
largely been whitewashed from the pages of history,” Pamela Geller reminds us:

Many
Muslims fought on the German side during World War II. The Wehrmacht
had six legions with a Muslim majority and the SS had three Muslim
divisions, a brigade and a Waffenbrigade. Each Muslim unit got a mullah
as an adviser. In November 1944, an SS mullah school was established in
Dresden, founded by Himmler.

The end goal for Soros,
long the preeminent funder of the Left, is to weaken America by making
the country safe for Islam, a fascistic, religion-like ideology founded
by Muhammad in the seventh century after the birth of Christ. Soros
urges the dissolution of borders and demands that the U.S. accept
unlimited immigration, including from regions that produce people who
hate America and its values and founding principles.

A constellation of well-heeled funders are
part of a long-term campaign aimed at making the tenets of Islam
acceptable in American society and glossing over the problems associated
with importing terrorism-prone Muslims. The 86-year-old Soros, whose
estimated net worth is now at a record $24.9 billion, is by far the
wealthiest of these funders.
Secret internal documents from
Soros’s primary philanthropic vehicle, Open Society Foundations (OSF),
were hacked by DCLeaks and published on the group’s website this past weekend.
One
memorandum dated Jan. 12, 2011, bears the subject line “U.S. Models for
Combating Xenophobia and Intolerance.” It is included in the document bundle labeled “Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civic Discourse.”
The
memo identifies a plan that calls upon the Center for American Progress
(CAP), founded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, to
combat a phantom the Left calls “Islamophobia.” This neologism is
wielded as a cudgel against those who dislike Islam and those who are
merely skeptical of it. Leftists are determined to stamp out criticism
of Islam, and they have an army of nonprofit organizations, foundations,
academics, media outlets, and name-calling activists to help them.
The
57-member state Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is onboard
with attacking Islamophobia. It wants to outlaw all criticism of Islam
in every country on planet Earth. Such criticism is not only blasphemous
but also defamatory, according to Islamic thinking.

The memo states:

We
need a clearer understanding of what by all indications is a
well-orchestrated and well financed system by which right-wing think
tanks, pundits, and politicians are able to introduce false narratives
and flawed research into the media cycle and use their misinformation to
manipulate public opinion and thwart progressive counterterrorism
policies.

It describes the “Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project” espoused by the Center for American Progress. The project would:

study
anti-Muslim bigotry in the public discourse and respond on a rapid
response basis throughout the 10-month grant period using CAP’s state of
the art communications platform;

conduct investigative research
on the Islamophobia movement and issue a major report on its findings
in the first quarter of 2011; and

convene in the first quarter
of 2011 two dozen experts, including representatives of progressive
organizations and the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South
Asian-American (AMEMSA) community, to formulate strategies for combating
anti-Muslim xenophobia.

It also indicates that
CAP “will research and track the activities of the most prominent
drivers of Islamophobia,” including “David Horowitz’s Freedom Center,”
Stop Islamization of America led by Pamela Geller, Foundation for
Defense of Democracies led by Cliff May, and Liz Cheney’s group Keep
America Safe. CAP will also examine “the role played by right-wing
media, the Tea Party movement, prominent politicians, pundits, and
conservative donors in spreading anti-Muslim hysteria.”
CAP took
Soros’s money and did his bidding. Even today CAP is working hard to
convince Americans that this make-believe mental illness of Islamophobia
is a threat to American democracy and pluralism. CAP claims a $57
million network “is fueling Islamophobia in the United States.” The
group created a sophisticated, flashy website (Islamophobianetwork.com)
that identifies leading alleged Islamophobes. The site draws upon “Fear,
Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America,” a 2011 CAP
report, and “Fear, Inc. 2.0: The Islamophobia Network’s Efforts to
Manufacture Hate in America,” a CAP report from 2015.CAP warns
that there is “a small, tightly networked group of misinformation
experts guiding an effort that reaches millions of Americans through
effective advocates, media partners, and grassroots organizing.” These
people, particularly a handful of key individuals and their
organizations, spread “hate and misinformation.”
The
Podesta-founded Center’s top six targets for vilification are: David
Horowitz, founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC);
Robert Spencer, co-founder of Stop Islamization of America, director of
the DHFC-affiliated Jihad Watch, and vice president of the American
Freedom Defense Initiative; Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the
Center for Security Policy (CSP); Steven Emerson, founder and executive
director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT); Daniel Pipes,
founder and president of the Middle East Forum (MEF); and David
Yerushalmi, founder of the Society of Americans for National Existence
(SANE), and general counsel for CSP and Stop Islamization of America.
The site also directs fire at author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born ex-Muslim who is a fierce critic of Islam.
Although
political correctness dictates that Hirsi Ali’s opinions should be
given greater weight because she is female, black, an immigrant, and a
victim of violence (female genital mutilation), she is too important a
target to ignore. The CAP-created website notes disapprovingly that she
calls Islam “a destructive, nihilistic cult of death” and says we will
lose the fight against terrorism “unless we realize that it’s not just
with extremist elements within Islam, but the ideology of Islam itself.”
The
website tries to discredit its targets by stating or implying, often
without offering any proof, that they are “radical right-wing,”
ignorant, misinformed, paranoid, or bigoted. It smears CSP’s Gaffney,
for example, claiming he “makes unsubstantiated claims,” and publishes
commissioned papers whose authors knowingly arrive at “exaggerated and
incorrect conclusions.”
The site claims Robert Spencer “is the
primary driver in promoting the myth that peaceful Islam is nonexistent
and that violent extremism is inherent within traditional Islam.” It
quotes Spencer saying Islam “is the only major world religion with a
developed doctrine and tradition of warfare against unbelievers.”
The site attacks David Horowitz, approvingly quoting
the Southern Poverty Law Center which has dubbed him “the godfather of
the anti-Muslim movement.” The site also pillories Horowitz for saying
that “virtually every major Muslim organization in America is an arm of
the Muslim Brotherhood, the fountainhead of Islamic terror,” and for
amplifying the voices of “fellow anti-Muslim bigots and their schemes of
conspiracies and threats.”
And it claims the DHFC, which publishes FrontPage, “promoted the myth that Muslim extremists infiltrated an array of political organizations on both the left and the right.”
Soros’s
“U.S. Models for Combating Xenophobia and Intolerance” memo is both an
important leftist document and a window into the thinking of Soros
operatives. It shows their preference for far-left talking points over
the dispassionate analysis of facts. It also ought to disabuse any
readers of the notion that OSF, formerly known as the Open Society
Institute, is bursting with good people with good intentions. Many of
these people viscerally hate those who disagree with them, viewing them
not merely as ignorant or misguided, but as evil.
The memo is also
a character assassination roadmap that enlists the assistance of
disreputable left-wing groups including Media Matters for America,
Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Addressed
to OSF president (now president emeritus) Aryeh Neier, the memo is from
OSF staffers Ann Beeson, Nancy Chang, and Raquiba LaBrie—all lawyers
and veteran social justice warriors—plotting to smear those who dare to
tell the truth about Islam. It lays out a plan “to counter xenophobia
and intolerance in the U.S.”
ACLU alumna Beeson replaced current
Democracy Alliance president Gara LaMarche in 2007 as U.S. Programs
director at OSF. She now runs of the Center for Public Policy Priorities
in Austin, Texas. Chang managed OSF’s National Security and Human
Rights Campaign but it wasn’t clear at time of writing if she still
worked at OSF. She was previously senior litigation attorney at the
Center for Constitutional Rights, a virulently anti-American public
interest law firm. Harvard-trained LaBrie is director of philanthropy at
L+M Development Partners in New York City and a board member of the
Urban Justice Center.
The 2011 strategy memo is a template for a
well-funded smear campaign against critics of Islam, associating them
with the shooting that January of then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
(D-Ariz.). The attack “provides a grim backdrop to U.S. Programs’
consideration of rising xenophobia and intolerance.” The shooter, Jared
Lee Loughner, turned out to be a paranoid left-winger.
The memo sets the stage by repeating the long ago debunked Daily Kos-originated smear
that Sarah Palin, “the most visible Tea Party leader,” somehow caused
the mass shooting in which Giffords was severely wounded because she
supposedly contributed to the “extreme and violent rhetoric [that]
pervades our political discourse.”
It regurgitates the leftist
article of faith that “prejudice against Muslims, Latinos, African
Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, and
other minorities is growing in a climate of fear, anger, and economic
uncertainty.” It blames “anti-Muslim bigotry” for opposition to the
construction of an “Islamic community center” at Ground Zero in lower
Manhattan. It claims that “[c]able television channels, talk radio and
political blogs pander to people’s fears and privilege expression of
extreme views.”
America is a fetid hellhole of racial and religious hatred, the memo continues.
There
is “growing intolerance and fragmentation in U.S. society” and it is
important to examine the “full range of actions from rhetoric to
harassment to violence perpetrated by government officials and private
individuals, or embodied in laws or policies.” More money “should be
devoted to uncovering the connections between individual actors, hate
groups and extremist ideologies.”
The memo authors recommend that
Open Society Foundations contribute $200,000 of the project’s $225,000
budget. It states that as of that point in time OSF had given a total of
$6,759,991 to CAP. However, IRS filings show that if OSF grants and
grants from Soros’s other philanthropy, the Foundation to Promote Open
Society, are combined, the total amount given to CAP rises to
$10,541,376.
The OSF grant to CAP does not appear in philanthropy
databases. Three separate $200,000 grants—two in 2011 and one in 2013—to
CAP for an “anti-Muslim bigotry” project do appear but they come from
the Foundation to Promote Open Society.Another OSF memo
from April 26, 2010 (“Strategic Opportunities Fund—May 3, 2010 Docket
Recommendation”) urges funding for the absurdly named Free Exchange on
Campus Coalition which it states was created three and a half years
earlier “to counter vigorous assaults on freedom of expression.”
OSF
acknowledges it approved a $150,000 grant for FECC in 2009 and planned
to give an additional $110,500 to its apparent fiscal sponsor, the
American Federation of Teachers Educational Foundation. “Because FECC
does not have its own 501c3 status, the coalition members decided to
house the staff coordinator position at the American Federation of
Teachers Educational Foundation,” the planning document states.
FECC
was founded after an OSF-hosted meeting in 2006 “following which
leading faculty, student and civil liberties organizations launched Free
Exchange on Campus Coalition (FECC) as a joint effort to counter
conservative activists and their allies’ ideological assault on higher
education.”
At that time “assaults on free exchange on campuses
‚Ä¶ included public relations efforts to undermine popular support for
the academy, on-campus student campaigns, and efforts to pass state and
federal legislation, based upon the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s
‚ÄòAcademic Bill of Rights’ (ABOR) proposal, to place restrictions on
higher education.”
FECC began to organize students and faculty in
key states to roll out a public communications strategy” and “played a
major role in organizing students and faculty to oppose proposals to
restrict the free exchange of ideas in Pennsylvania, Montana, Missouri,
Virginia, Iowa, Arizona, Georgia and Texas.”
In fact the Academic Bill of Rights
was drafted to protect students from abusive, indoctrination-oriented
professors with the goal of returning the academy to traditional
principles of open inquiry and true academic freedom that puts students
and teachers on an equal footing.
Horowitz is also mentioned in an article from the OSF document dump
called “9/11 at 10: Lessons Learned from Anti-Muslim Haters,” by Faiz
Shakir, at the time vice president of CAP. According to his LinkedIn
profile he left CAP in June 2012 to become “New Media Director &
Senior Adviser” to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and In March
2013 he became “Senior Adviser” to “U.S. Senate Majority [sic] Leader Harry Reid[.]” (The article is one of several in a PDF file called “tab-7-usp-board-articles-oct-2011[.]”)
Shakir
describes Horowitz as one of “a host of grassroots organizers and
activists” who disseminates the work of “anti-Muslim experts.” After
that, “[m]edia voices on the right‚ÄîFox News, National Review, and hate
radio hosts like Michael Savage‚Äîthen amplify the Islamophobic
rhetoric. Ultimately, right-wing political actors like Newt Gingrich and
Rep. Allen West (R-FL) help mainstream the ugly prejudice.”
Shakir adds:

The
lesson is simple: We need to isolate the Islamophobia network. That
means demanding the media not give a platform to this small cadre of
voices. That also means demanding that politicians divorce themselves
from the network’s propaganda. It’s possible.

Shakir’s right. It is possible to smear and intimidate people who want to speak the truth.
The Left, surfing on a tidal wave of Soros money, does it every day.
